Sendmail::PMilter ================= Sendmail::PMilter makes it possible - in fact easy - to write milters for the Sendmail or Postfix Mail Transfer Agents in pure Perl. Sendmail::PMilter provides a set of functions which replace those in the 'libmilter' library supplied with Sendmail, plus some constants which are needed to support milters which make use of of the Milter Protocol - especially Version 6 of the Protocol. Sendmail itself has supported the Milter Protocol by default since 2004. It provides the optional 'libmilter' which is written in C. For Perl milters this can be replaced by Sendmail::PMilter. Perl milters using Sendmail::PMilter do not need the 'libmilter' library, and the 'libmilter' provided by Sendmail need not be built unless it is needed by other milters. Sendmail::PMilter supports Milter Protocol Version 6 'negotiation'. Sendmail::PMilter supports both IPv4 and IPv6. For installation instructions see the file named INSTALL. If during installation the standard procedures are followed, then the tests in t/ will be run automatically before the final installation step. Alternatively you can just copy these two files somewhere where your Perl will be able to find them: lib/Sendmail/PMilter.pm lib/Sendmail/PMilter/Context.pm As of 2022 this author has been using Sendmail::PMilter routinely to handle modest volumes of mail for about five years. Nevertheless it might be best to consider this as a test release. You should be very familiar with milters and mail processing systems so that you can cope easily if things go horribly wrogn. Enjoy!
